Chapter 33



In addition to her freelance job as a supervisor, Lin Tantan has another job, which is back to her old profession, treatment.

The survivors ran here from all over the city, and it was inevitable that some of them would be injured, and that was where Lin Tantan's role came into play.

A long row of small bungalows were built on the open space in front of the office building. These bungalows were where the new survivors were inspected. Both men and women had to take off their clothes and were inspected by inspectors drawn from the old survivor team. There were at least three inspectors in one room.

Those found to have a fever were isolated. Those found to be infected were not dealt with on the spot for fear of causing a disturbance, but were also isolated. Once they became corpses, they were all humanely destroyed. Those found to have ordinary wounds that required treatment were sent for treatment.

Behind this row of small bungalows was another small row of bungalows. This was the medical department, where a few doctors gave medication to patients. Lin Tantan also occupied a room, using her special abilities to treat people.

A middle-aged male survivor removed his blood-stained shoes, revealing his feet pierced by glass shards. He casually wrapped them in a cloth. Lin Tan took one look and said, "You're lucky you didn't step on any zombies' belongings. Otherwise, you'd be dead."

She said to the water-related girl next to her, "Get some water to wash her first."

The water girl calmly did as she was told. A thin stream of water came out of her hand and washed over the soles of the patient's feet. It not only cleaned the blood stains on the outside, but also penetrated deep into the wounds and washed away the deep dirt. It was this flushing method that made the patient's face turn pale with pain.

The man was able to bear it well. He was supported by his son and didn't say a word.

After cleaning it, Lin Tantan sent out a wooden belt and wrapped it around the man's ankle. Energy seeped into the man's foot, and the wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Oh? It doesn't hurt anymore?" The patient's pain faded, and his young son also looked surprised: "My dad's wound is healed?"

"No, we're just letting the wound on the surface heal to prevent contamination. The inside hasn't healed so quickly yet. Don't let this foot walk on the ground anymore. Let it rest for a few days." Lin Tantan said.

The father and son thanked him happily and left.

The next person who came was a man with a broken bone. He had had his bone repaired by the Chinese medicine doctor next door. However, due to insufficient conditions, he only had a splint put on him. He asked Lin Tantan to use his supernatural powers to nourish him so that he would recover quickly.

Lin Tantan got the treatment.

The man soon felt less pain.

The next boy was the one who had hit his face on the ground, leaving it covered in bruises. This time, Lin Tan didn't do it himself. Instead, he said to another serious-looking young man present, "Why don't you try?"

This man, a reincarnated inmate from a hospital, was called Mingze. He had arrived a few days earlier, suffering from a fever. Lin Tan Tan combed his hair, and the next day, he awakened to a Wood element, specifically a healing one. He was amazed by this ability and expressed a desire to become Lin Tan Tan's disciple, who took him under her wing.

He nodded seriously, stretched out his hand to the boy, and sent out a bunch of green grass from his hand, which covered the boy's face as he exclaimed.

Well, this looks a bit scary.

But the effect was good. After two minutes, the green grass withered and fell to the ground, but the scratches on the boy's face had basically formed fresh scabs, which was better than any medicine.

"How is it?" Lin Tan asked Mingze with a smile. Mingze's face was a little pale, but his eyes were excited. "This ability is amazing, but it's a pity that I'm still too weak."

He felt that he could only do this three times. He looked at the dry grass on the ground and said, "Ms. Lin, why can I conjure up grass and Xinyu conjure up vines? Why can't I retract them after they appear, and you can't do that?"

Lin Tan Tan said: "I don't know either."

Lin Tantan is very different from the psychics of this period. She can take back her psychic powers after releasing them, but for Mingze and Yang Xinyu, a large part of their released psychic powers turned into actual grass and vines, and were wasted.

The same applies to other types of psychics. The additional consumption of this materialization is too great.

Lin Tan Tan turned her neck: "Okay, next one, we'll take a break after ten more." She certainly wouldn't make herself as tireless as Superman, treating a maximum of twenty patients at a time, but even that was already amazing.

As a result, among these ten people, she met two acquaintances. One said that they were from the same club in school and had lent her meal card, and the other said that she often saw her during self-study.

Of course, both of them wanted to get close to each other, but were fooled by Lin Tan's lukewarm response.

But this is not a solution. After thinking it over, Lin Tantan decided to ask Bai Cheng for help, who she thought was the most scheming and the best at doing things behind people's backs.

Now more and more survivors come to the west of the city, thousands or even tens of thousands every day, so the general manager Bai Cheng is very busy. Lin Tan doesn't want to bother him during the day, but he can't see him at dinner at night. That day, he waited in 301 until very late and he didn't come back, so he went downstairs to wait.

The neighborhood was dark with only a few lights scattered around. Lin Tantan sat at the entrance of Building No. 1 and continued to absorb her water crystal core.

Then two dark figures in front slowly approached, still talking as they came. From the sound of their voices, it was clear that they were Ye Xiao and Bai Cheng. Lin Tan Tan squinted his eyes and watched for a long time, thinking to himself, "You said you are so busy, and these two still go out and come back together..."

"Tan Tan, why are you here?" Ye Xiao saw Lin Tan Tan first.

Lin Tantan put the crystal core in her pocket, stood up and said, "I can't sleep, come out and sit for a while." When the two men came over, she said to Bai Cheng, "Brother Bai, I need your help with something."

Both of them were stunned. Lin Tantan and Ye Xiao had always had a closer relationship, and Ye Xiao actually cared about her more than Bai Cheng. This was the first time that Lin Tantan said that she needed Bai Cheng's help with something.

Ye Xiao was surprised and asked, "What's the matter? Is there anything you want to put into his space?"

"Ah, not this." Bai Cheng's current space is about ten square meters and about four meters high. In addition to storing important supplies, he also left some space for everyone to put some personal things, but Lin Tantan didn't have anything to put there now, so it remained empty.

Ye Xiao wanted to ask more, but Lin Tan Tan acted as if he didn't want to hear about this matter and waved his hand at him. Ye Xiao had no choice but to go upstairs first.

Bai Cheng smiled and said, "What's the matter?"

Lin Tantan scratched his face and said, "Actually, it's like this. Two more people came today and said they knew me..."

Bai Cheng's handsome brows furrowed slightly: "Are they harassing you again?"

"Not yet, it's just... well, let me put it this way, didn't I awaken two superpowers at once? I also had a fever before awakening, and after waking up, I can't remember much of what happened before." Lin Tantan lied, "So, I don't really remember the people who knew me, and I can't tell the truth from what they said."

Bai Cheng was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lin Tantan, which made Lin Tantan feel guilty. He continued to talk, "These people are easy to deal with, but I still think it's necessary to clarify my past, how many close people I have around me, and what the situation is like at home."

Bai Cheng was silent for a while: "You mean, you lost your memory?"

"That's about right."

"Then why didn't you say it before?"

Doesn't it feel like amnesia is too far-fetched? No one would believe it. But after thinking about it, it's better to say that I have lost my memory than to be confused and not know when to be deceived in the future, or to be caught in a dilemma. "Hey, didn't I want to fool people before? I originally wanted to find out on my own, but the people I know best, besides the superpowers, are Jiang Zhongyi and others. I asked them to ask Chen Zhihao..."

"It's not appropriate for you to handle this matter yourself." Bai Cheng said, "Leave it to me. Also, don't let anyone else know about this."

Losing her memory wasn't a big deal, but Lin Tantan's abilities were too strong. If others knew she had lost her memory, they might target her and trick her away...

Bai Cheng looked at Lin Tantan's innocent face, which looked like he had never experienced the world, and the words "I'm easy to fool" were written on his face.

He asked Lin Tantan how much he remembered about the past, and Lin Tantan said he remembered nothing, and his memory only started from January 1st, when the end of the world came.

Bai Cheng suddenly asked: "Then why did you have to go to Peking University Town at that time?" He had actually wanted to ask this question for a long time, because looking back, Lin Tantan did not do anything for himself after going to Peking University Town, and it did not seem to have any purpose.

Lin Tan Tan: “…” Oh my, that happened so long ago.

She scratched her head. Since everyone said she had lost her memory, she simply said, "I forgot. I just really wanted to go and see it."

Bai Cheng gave her a complicated look. Not only was she naive, she was also very impulsive, which made it very easy for someone to take advantage of her.

Lin Tan Tan: ...I always feel like I’m being treated as a retard again.

But he was still very happy to have raised the issue, and Lin Tan slept well with a relaxed mind.

The next day, the same work was repeated. The only difference was that the team that rescued Xu Meijuan also came to the west of the city. It was a very impressive and large convoy with dozens of large and small cars and three or four hundred people. They were completely different from the ordinary survivors who came to escape.

"Captain Ye, you are truly kindhearted. You've taken care of nearly 100,000 people, providing them with food, lodging, and training. You're so responsible! In comparison, I, Zhou, am truly inferior. If there's anything I can do for you, please let me know."

Ye Xiao still showed enough respect to the leader of the convoy. He took him around and gave him a brief explanation of the arrangements here, which led to the other party saying these words to him.

Ye Xiao said politely: "There is indeed a place where I need Mr. Zhou's help. There are too many people here, and the defense seems weak. I hope your men can obey my arrangements for the time being."

Mr. Zhou agreed readily. Originally, the condition for staying in the west city was to obey the arrangements. Ye Xiao specifically mentioned this as a way of giving him face.

He smiled and asked, "Captain Ye, there are nearly 100,000 people here, so there must be quite a few people with special abilities."

Lin Tantan had just finished treating twenty people and came out to rest. She saw Ye Xiao talking to a man from a distance. The man was surrounded by quite a few people and looked quite prestigious. Thinking of the convoy just now, she slowly walked over.

I just heard people talking about how this convoy has only over 300 people, two-thirds of them can kill zombies, and there are even a dozen or so people with special abilities.

You have to know that in the past few days, those people with fever have gradually awakened, and there are also some people with special abilities among the new survivors. There are nearly 100,000 people in the west of the city now, and there are only dozens of people with special abilities in total.

It is by no means an easy task to gather such a group of people in just over ten days. As long as such a person does not die, he will definitely be a figure in the later period. She wondered if he would be a powerful character recorded in history books.

Thinking of this, she walked over, and then the man who was talking to Ye Xiao turned around. Seeing Lin Tan, he was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and his calm face suddenly showed a bit of surprise: "It's you!"

Lin Tan Tan: “?” Another person who knew her appeared?

Then she found out that it wasn't really Lin Tantan's fault, this was someone she knew.

I don’t really know him, but he’s the man in the off-road vehicle I met on the first day of the apocalypse, the one with a fever.

Lin Tantan was stunned for a moment, then quickly looked him over. Hmm, he had obviously woken up. She said, "Hello."

The other person extended his hand and said with a gentle and grateful smile, "Thank you so much for reminding me that day."

Lin Tan Tan thought for a moment, then reached out and shook his hand: "It was just a casual mention."

Ye Xiao, who was left aside, said: "..." He looked at the two people's shaking hands, and then looked at the joy on the face of the man who had been calm and composed: "Do you know each other?"
